Cheap Flights to Aby from HK$242

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Aby could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've compiled some useful tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great flight experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a thrilling book. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose slip-on footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Aby quick and painless. Read through our handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
